Mark pollarding willow trees along a watercourse

Posted on by Debbie Newman

Here, Mark is pollarding willow trees along a watercourse, all made safe and easy with the Vosch grapple saw.

 Pollarding is the process of cutting all limbs of the tree back to the main stem to reduce the weight and likelihood of the main stem splitting and failing.  This can only be done on certain species of tree that will regenerate afterwards.
